+ Good – Use frozen, not fresh, spinach and switch to puff pastry.
+ Better – Rather than triangles, make rolls from the mix and filo.

Yamas! Feta brings holiday vibes to these crisp filo parcels, brightened with lemon and herbs for a light, golden and flavourful bite. A great starter or side.
Prep: MEDIUM
Makes 9 Servings
Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
250g fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp dried oregano
½ lemon, zest and juice
1 egg
100g YAMAS! Feta
20g butter
3 sheets of filo pastry
Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onions for 10 mins. Add garlic and cook for a couple more minutes. Then transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Steam the spinach so it wilts. Let it cool before squeezing out the excess liquid. Chop roughly.
- Add the spinach to the onions and garlic alongside the nutmeg, oregano, lemon zest and juice, and egg. Mix, then crumble in the feta and mix gently. Season to taste.
- Melt the butter and preheat the oven to 180C.
- Cut each filo sheet into three lengths. Brush one length with the melted butter. Put some feta mix at the top and fold down the length to make a triangle. Repeat with the other sheets and remaining feta mix.
- Brush with the remaining butter and bake for 20 mins till golden brown.
